 | | MikhailGolubev: Truths of the Dragon https://www.chess.com/blog/MikhailG...
There is something curious about participating in chess life both before and then during the total computer invasion. It can even be considered a privilege that only a few generations of chess players got ... though not because we asked for it. |

 | | MikhailGolubev: Tactics: simple and other https://www.chess.com/blog/MikhailG... Yes, I have a habit of looking back at most of my blitz games after playing them. The main focus is on openings, but not exclusively. So, below is a selection of tactical positions from my games over the last two years. <...> |

 | | OhioChessFan: GM's just operate in a different world. I have no idea how you play blitz like this. I couldn't begin to solve even one of them. The Slovineanu was a beautiful mating pattern. I assume that is Viacheslav Slovineanu |

 | | keypusher: These tactical exercises are great! Like OCF, I'd never find them in blitz, and maybe not under any circumstances. |

 | | Fusilli: I very much enjoyed your chess.com post on the Dragon. I posted two questions there (I am <RealFusilli> on chess.com... Fusilli was taken.) BTW, I just turned 57 and know what you are talking about re: life in chess before and after computers! I get the feeling that kids learn so much faster now than back then (plus I am getting worse fast now). There are also many more high-level coaches too. On occasion, my experience has been useful to win endgames from hardly advantageous positions against young peers in my rating range. That has always felt rewarding. |

 | | MikhailGolubev: Today #FIDE celebrates its 100-year anniversary, being shamefully headed by the representative of the aggressor state, Russian politician Dvorkovich, who recently was reprimanded by the FIDE's own Ethics Commission.
I wish FIDE to become a decent organisation by 2124, at least. |

 | | MikhailGolubev: Esen vs Golubev, 2006. (One of my best King's Indian games): B Esen vs M Golubev, 2006
Spotted a mistake in this and some other databases. Not 14...Rb8 but 14...Qb8 was played in fact. |

 | | OhioChessFan: I'm glad cg.c fixed that game score.
I despise playing against the KID as White. |

 | | MikhailGolubev: I never, or since long ago, really liked the direct killing associations in chess such as "killer instinct" and now, living inside a big war with hundreds of thousands actually killed, I like these things even less...
though chess is usually understood as a war game, and all this is a chess tradition.
but, even taking into account all these considerations, some things were really too much for me, like an opening book "Kill the KID" |

 | | OhioChessFan: That's great. What should he have played instead of d6? |

 | | MikhailGolubev: New personal best rating at @chesscom blitz: 2814. (Achieved 2800 for the first time on December 24th, 2024). Okay for an old man. |

 | | MikhailGolubev: "Among the thousands of players to join Titled Tuesday in 2024, only one, GM Mikhail Golubev, participated in all 106 out of 106 tournaments. He also played every single one of the possible 1,166 games!"

That's why need a break now |

 | | MikhailGolubev: My avg score in #TitledTuesday (in 2024 and before) is between 50% and +1, as far as I see I'm a grandmaster with MOST losses in the Mega Database 2025; and there are only two players with more losses than me. In other words, I'm the least important grandmaster to beat, ever. :) |

 | | OhioChessFan: How often do you use your own games with your students? Is there an advantage/disadvantage to using games you played? |
|
Feb-03-25
 | | MikhailGolubev: <OhioChessFan> There are several, not large, topics where I provide material, based on my games. Otherwise, I use my games when appropriate, i. e. sometimes/not very often. |

February 2025: Desperado: On My Titled Tuesday Marathon by Mikhail_Golubev <...> https://www.chess.com/announcements...
Positively surprised. Many thanks @chesscom @Sam_Copeland! |

 | | OhioChessFan: Congrats on that. Obviously the thought of an attack on your hometown while playing
made for gripping reading. |

 | | MikhailGolubev: <OhioChessFan> It's a relevant fact, whatever people can think about it. Air raids are documented at the official and news sites, it's no problem to check when when we had the air raid(s) and, often, what where results of the Russian drone or/and missile attacks on any particular day in our city. So far, nearest to our place buildings, damaged or destroyed, are approx. 300 m from our place. |
